Mi5

any reason to upgrade from the Nexus 5 besides battery (and the fact its EOL now) ?

Feel like there is no more middle-priced phones around 400-500USD and the majority of features have been memes

The only good things that would come out of an upgrade would be:
-water and dust resistance
-larger screen (with very little other benefit in screen tech)
-better battery life

A phone that comes close to that is going to be in the 700USD+ mark. Really doesn't seem like a worthwile upgrade.

Is there any reason to get a Zenfone 3 deluxe over a OnePlus 3T. The only thing I really see is the camera, and that I like ZenUI, other than that it's shitload more economical to get OnePlus comparatively for specs.

>>57687613
Why not zuk z2 pro or 1+3t or mi5s?

They're all pretty big upgrades without costing a fuckload

150 dollar phone for the US?
Currently looking at the Blu life one x2.
Has a 1080p screen, decent battery and a fingerprint scanner. It seems to be the best phone to get ASAP.

Any other suggestions?

Zuk z2 or a LeEco for you Mr Satan

>>57687636
eh, rather get a US """flagship""" device because I just want to ride out support for the longest time possible.

I'll trade high end specs for long mainstream OS support. I've stopped being a mobile power user long ago. Currently run stock root with UI customization and don't want to fuck around with roms or have any trouble with the phone that I have to learn Chinese to fix

gonna ask again, this time with an attention grabbing image.
how's the xiaomi redmi 4 prime (not the note version)? anyone has it? been thinking about buying it, but I'm afraid it doesn't have rom support yet.
should I just buy a RN3P?

OnePlus has pretty good OS support and for a few dollars more you can get added protection that includes if you go retard mode and drop it in your toilet for 18/24 months

>>57687726
Sounds like the nexus 5 is still an ideal device for you.

I think I qualify for the option of trading in my galaxy s5 for an lg v20 with t mobile. plan on joining my brother's one plus plan. should i do it? lg v20 are the best phones currently out, right?

When will you fucks stop recommending cheap Chinese trash?

Axon 7 for $350
Honor 8 for $240

Looking for a smaller phone with decent long term support. Need an upgrade from my POS Zenfone 2.

So, is the Pixel any good or just a $800 fashion accessory?

>>57687790
was considering it
I would say that brand is the continuation of the price:performance ratio of the now gone Nexus line. Definitely good mainstream hardware. Hope the company focuses on one flagship line that it can support for longer instead of fragmenting its line and fading into obscurity.

>>57687909
Doesnt have 6GB of RAM. Its trash.

>>57687845
I would stick to it without bitching here if it wasn't for a mobile network connectivity issue that I can not seem to fix (reflashed older bands, tried factory resets, with no help). There is no fucking way that it's a coincidence that my N5 was working fine since my release day purchase and all the sudden has mysterious connectivity issues right after the EOL date

>>57687917
waste of money, the 6P is close to the same. No difference in specs makes it worth it over the Pixel.

>>57687889
>He skips over the word "trash"
I'm pretending to be smart xdd

What actual feature are you waiting for until you upgrade?

I want a reasonably priced (500-650USD) OLED phone, 5.5 in, with certified water resistance. It's going to be a while isn't it?

>>57687917
get a 6P, Pixel is a fucking meme and it's like Google is trying to hard to fail.

>>57688038
>he thinks they are not made from the same parts and factories as Samsung and Apple etc.

>>57688055

>>57687757

>>57688107
How long did you wait for unlock permission?

>>57688089
Rather not have to pay out the ass to have the privilege of debloating my Samshit from day 1 and waiting for Samsung to bless me with an update three years after official release. Also, doesn't Amoled still need time to mature? Aren't there still quality problems with even the newest highest grade panels?

>>57688018
Dude just flash purity rom lmao.

>>57688012
Name 3 smartphones not made in China that have 6GB ram.

>>57688218
>Dude just flash purity rom lmao.
yup, that's the next step. Is that the best ROM for the 5? I haven't fucked with ROMs since the Galaxy Shit 2.

>>57687278
Thing is, I really want it but I also feel shitty about upgrading so soon.

It's just me being autistic I guess.

Also, what are some similar priced phones with good Cameras and battery life?

Zuk z2 pro seems to get 6-8 hours depending on where you check.

>>57688213
Samsung are actually good with updates now, nougat is due out in a few weeks.
AMOLED is plenty mature as long as it's not b-grade gentile shit like in op3.

I don't know whether to ask this here or in /sqt/, but I have a Sony Xperia M4, and it's complaining that internal storage is getting full. I've only put a few songs and pictures on it; most of the storage is just shitty apps I can't delete that came with the phone. However, my phone is charging from my PC now and I'm looking at all the internal storage folders, and I wonder: are the apps stored in one of those folders? Can I just delete them this way?

>Pixel XL and Ishit 7 Plus are both exactly 769 USD MSRP

I fucking love this meme. Google now thinks it's in the same realm as the ifashion accessory that has years of master marketing under its belt.

I'm going to go ahead and dump my consumertard blogpost here:

was seriously considering an ishit until I saw what the 7 had come to be.

I have used Android for a long time and dev subsidized lines like the Nexus were a good value since they had good hardware and the largest degree of customization and software optimization

I liked Android at that point because I used my phone for media consumption and an array of other things that required fine grain control. It was also cheap and had decent hardware.

Presently I have stopped using my phone for media consumption and heavy internet browsing. I find myself dependent mostly on the stock features of the phone.

I stopped having a need for various levels of adblocking, an open file system, UI tweaking etc (things Android was perfect for)

I value a consistent UI and a non fragmented software release community and don't mind paying a bit extra. Since the Nexus line is gone there isn't much choice left for price:performance in the Android ecosystem unless you get some obscure gookphone and anyone that leaves the basement more than once a month doesn't want to deal with that.

>>57688328

From the freedom perspective:
Phones are proprietary tracking devices so from that perspective Android is the same as Apple. Actually, Apple has gained more respect in my eyes with the recent hard stance the company took, especially compared to Google, which has no regard for its users.

I was seriously considering an iphone but Apple seems to be going in a completely wrong direction after the iphone 5. Removal of the jack, no matter how much COURAGE it took was a stupid move for a market that is not ready. Not including the new wireless technology with your 700USD+ imeme is an insult to the consumer (it's like Apple wants to see just how much they can abuse their customers). Another thing is the lack of a quality display on the phone and the lack of good battery life (although shit battery life has been a standard feature on the iphone)

tl;dr I would have gotten an ishit if they didn't actually remove features from it

>>57688149
Pretty fast, 2 maybe 3 days. You can do it while waiting for the Phone to arrive, Just write something decent when they ask for the reason

Root and install official builds of CM on it, iirc theyre up to 13.1 in stable releases.

Never had a problem with official CM being buggy except on a chinkphone with fingerprint scan that refused to work, and even then it fixed itself after installing Xposed and a week of use.

Where do you live? Moto G4 and G4 Play are half price just about everywhere and they're pretty fucking good for their price, I snagged a G Play for ~100 dollars and it's much better than my old-ish Note 4 even though it's vastly less powerful, must be lagwizz' fault.

>>57688833
13.1 is just Marshmallow isn't it? What would be the point?

I had a Moto E before and it served me just fine but I got this for free. I don't feel the need for anything better except for maybe Daydream support but none of the flagships have interested me much at all to bother.

>>57688771
That you have to order online instead of through a local phone shop.

>>57688678
>Where the fuck are you looking

What's a good email client for Android? The one I used became a subscription one.

>>57687676
Sounds like trash
Albeit I buy used and got my 16gb for $80 cdn

>>57688898
Disadvantages of N are: no Xposed, roms still in beta, no root on some phones, it has no real advantages over M sans some cosmetic changes unless your phone is a $799 flagship, case in point, my phone will get the nougat upgrade in February at worst but there is no reason to upgrade as all I get is forced doze (something I already have with greenify and Xposed) and a prettier status bar, meanwhile I lose a fuckload of things.

CM 13.1 is marshmallow yes, but the official builds are optimized for your phone, you won't get something like this out of a pajeet "bugs: you tell me :)" nougat cm14 rom.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but every moto g2 got stuck on L 5.0, didn't even get L 5.1 or M.

Phone died so I'm looking for a new one, tmobile, budget is flexible (prefer under $400), but it has to have a physical keyboard. Priv is the only phone I'm aware of, but I'm also willing to use a keyboard case or other kind of addon keyboard on a different phone if the keyboard is any good.

My main issue with the priv is the lack of rooting, am I right to be concerned about that?

>>57689260
I got it with Marshmallow installed. Wiki says that's the latest ver.

>but the official builds are optimized for your phone

But what's the point of going CM over AOSP?

I'll probably stick with stock now and try CM14 once it's stable and developed then.

>>57689371
You can opt out of Google apps for F-Droid, MicroG and ApkTrack, gapps is a real battery drainer, I've used mine for an entire day without charging and it still has ~20% or so of battery left, couple that with turbocharge (one hour for 0% to 100%) and it's insane how much this thing lasts.

There's also customizing your status bar with the toggles, screen density, turning on hidden LEDs etc, all the little overlooked features of CM that stock android doesn't have.

>>57689446
Alright you convinced me. I'll give it a shot.

it's a fucking disgrace to the compact line. Z3 Compact was god tier, Z5 Compact was good (despite some overheating issues if you tried to record 4k video or play shit video games). This is low specs, no water proof, feels cheaper all around. It's like a compact cheap version of the X instead of being a proper compact of the ZX which is the flagship.

will an axon 7 mini be able to screen cast with a blu-ray player? If I'm correct in this, Wifi Direct is what lets you do this, and it has that.

>>57690687
I started with android, went though the whole swapping roms, rooting stuff but in the end I always had something buggy that would be irritating. Priorities change and I wanted something that just worked and got reliable updates, went to iPhone and haven't looked back.

Any good less than $140 phone?

I'm thinking of either RN3P 2GB or K6000 Pro or probably a Le 2 X520 or Mi4c or Xperia Z1 Compact.

>switched to systemless root
>didn't know I had to tick a checkbox in Adaway
>keep getting update errors
fuck

>>57691174
Le 2 x520 or k6000 pro would be my recommendations. Don't settle for less than 3GB ram, it's almost 2017 and with 6GB flagships already mainstream, ram requirements are going to skyrocket.

>>57691169
Same, however I started off with iOS, iPhone 3gs, but mostly an Android guy. On Nexus 6p atm. I think I'm at that point where my priorities have changed and the little things of iOS keep attracting me, I might go back.

>>57691204
do you think 4 gb ram isn't worth it at this point?
about to pick up a phone for around 350 with 4 gb ram.

>>57691267
3GB and up should be fine imo, but 2GB just won't cut it for long.

Especially with an already bloated Android rom like miui.

I usually have ~400-600MB free on my k6000 pro and I multitask quite a bit. My nexus 5 was only 2GB and apps would close all the time on android 5.1 and up and reopen when I pulled them from my recents.

Honor 5X or Moto G Plus?

>>57691226
The reason I've stayed are better quality apps, iMessage, and find my phone which helps keep track of my kid and even got the phone recovered when
some kid stole it out of her backpack on the bus. But most of all everything works as it should and I dont have to spend time trying to make it work, I don't have time and am willing to accept the limitations.

>>57691204
>6GB
RAM are a meme
4GB is more than enough, 3GB is ok and 2Gb is manageable.

>>57691446
That's what I'm saying. But 6GB phones haven't been out for long, hope long until 2GB is barely enough for running android with a couple of chrome tabs and your music player?

I remember my htc desire s being manageable on jellybean with 768MB ram, now you need almost 1GB just to load up Android with all the fucked up google and manufacturer bloat.

>>57691463
How long*

I bought a Nexbit Robin for my mom because it was dirt cheap and she broke her old phone. It seems like a surprisingly good phone given it's only $170 on Amazon now.

>>57691479
>170 on amazon
For $10 more you could have gotten a zuk z2 with 4GB ram, 64GB storage, better camera, SD820, and reversible USB type C, and 3500mAh battery...

>>57691504
The cheapest on Amazon is $228 and it doesn't have Prime so nah, I'm fine with the Robin. It's not my phone anyway, it already has USB-C, and it won't have pre-installed Chink spyware like all Lenovo devices.

Even the most basic retard knows how to get rid of that shit these days.

Can't make up my mind between Pixel XL and HTC 10. I'm leaning to the Pixel XL, but I don't think I'm making a rational decision.

The HTC 10 is smaller and I was really hoping to get a 5.5". But it has a microSD slot and is $270 cheaper this weekend.
The Pixel XL is a bit bigger and comes with less bloat preinstalled, but it's $270 more expensive and doesn't even have a fucking microSD slot. But it also has a better battery (at least that's what the reviews are saying).

I really don't know if +.3" in screen size and a slightly better battery are worth $270.

how much storage do you guys need for your music? I'm trying to decide between 64gb/128gb/removable storage but im not sure if more than 64 is worth

also how long do you guys keep your phones for before you feel like you need a new one (assuming your phone is kept in shape)?

>>57691861
My biggest issue with the phone is the size, if they made one the size of the Xperia Z3 Compact or the iPhone 5 I'd be all over that shit. I don't like big phones.

>>57691802
>also how long do you guys keep your phones for before you feel like you need a new one
As long as it's useable.

I went from Nexus 1 (got too slow) --> Nexus 4 (screen/headphone jack broke) --> Pixel

>>57691802
Get as much as you can it'll fill up eventually. Always go for headroom. I have ~300 GB of music, it would be nice to be able to take it everywhere without having to rely on streaming services.

My current phone I have had for nearly 4 years. It's developed a few quirks, hence my lurking this thread.

>>57692398
Why do you want us to ask you questions?

I need a chink phone with good battery life, large display, custom rom support and a good camera for like $200. I'm coming from the ZUK Z1.

Was thinking of the Redmi Note 3 Poor.
Good Choice?

>>57692474
Could you provide me with a reason?

>>57692333
Go for the gold, it's much more subdued in person.

Is the LG V20 any good?

The camera seems kinda lackluster desu, despite people claiming it's amazing. I just see a lot of grainy pictures and the shadows look blue =/

Also, any advice for someone wanting to switch from iOS to Android? I'm going to miss iCloud and everything integrated with my Macbook. iMessage also. I'm tempted to say but being able to load up an SD card with movies with the LG V20 is really tempting.

Is there any decent smartphone with screen size of 4" to 4.5" (beside iPhone SE)? Bigger phones are fucking obnoxious for lugging around.

>>57692783
z5 compact x compact are 4.6 inches.

>>57692783
IPhone SE has big bezels. A 5 inch android phone is almost the same size.

There's more to a phones size than just the screen

>>57692778
Pics are definitely blue. This is probably easily fixed by adjusting the colour balance, but you want that shit done automatically on a phone.

I wonder why xiaomi is always so hesitant on releasing the SAR value of their phones.

With custom ROMs/xposed, yes. Unrooted stock then you're probably SOOL. I'm using omniswitch atm, gives you much more functionality.

Hey again spg, im having a dilemma. I just ordered a Honor 8 for 260usd. My Samshit s3 is about to die and is so slow I needed a new phone badly. Im poor and the H8 seems great especially for 140 usd off, but Im scared I made a mistake. My budget was only up to 200 so I splurged to get a flagship-killer style phone. What do you all think?

>>57692798
I'd rather see something at the lower end. I know there's nothing..

My moto x met it's untimely demise and a new display/ getting it repaired is around $125, but for that much, I figure I'd just get a 'new' device.

>Country
United States
>Carrier
AT&T
>Features
'Good' camera that can at least do decently in low light, call quality, comfy, decent warranty (most chinkphones lack)
>Budget
< $200 (poor collegefag no bulli)
>Size
≤ 5.5"

I'm willing to go refurbished if it still has a form of warranty.
I was thinking like, an LG G3 or Galaxy S5, they're decent enough in terms of camera in low light and their sizes are around what I like.
Is there better for less than $200?

>>57693227
was seriously considering this phone.
opted for an axon 7 for a bit more.
honor 8 seems legit to me tho.

Looking for a phone with best camera and battery life for ~500aud or less.

Is the zuk z2 pro my best option? What else is there around that price?

Not a huge fan of xiaomi phones after managing to destroy my redmi 3.

Don't give a fuck about ui as long as I can access my apps with ease.

Aesthetically pleasing designs are more desirable, naturally. I think phones like the zuk z2 pro, oukitel k6000 pro, redmi 3 pro, vernee mars, etc, looks nice.

I've done a lot of research and honestly it looks like the zuk z2 pro is my best bet, but before I blow 500 on a phone, I thought I'd ask you fellows here for any advice or recommendations.

Pic is just, hopefully, for getting your attention.

GOOOOOOOOOGLE REEE

My lumia phone gave up recently so I've been using an Android handset for a couple of months as a replacement. Turns out I hate this illogical unuserfriendly unstable piece of shit. And there are actually less settings than windows phone and the phone, sms and email apps sucks donkey balls.

I didn't think it was possible but I'm considering getting an iPhone in the hope that it will be similar to the windows phone experience but with more apps. How annoyed would I be using an iPhone?

>>57694888
Have you tried cyanogenmod? I've heard it has a load of customization options.

>>57695094
I don't want to root my phone. I expect it to just be user friendly and work out of the box. Not be something designed by drunk gorillas that never heard of UX.

>>57695139
Which phone do you have?

Just got my Xioami Mi4c for 130$. Got rid of the vendor MIUI that came with it, installed TWRP and flashed Cyanogen 13.

What to do now? Is there an /appg/?

>>57695179
Is TWRP better than CWM?

>>57694888
Just download different email and SMS apps.

RN3P user here. Anyone have GPS issues with MIUI? I have to restart my phone every time I want to use it and even then it stops working after a few minutes. Followed all the retarded cache wiping guides and loads of others. Tried clean install too.

>>57695199

TWRP was the only recovery compatible with the ROMs I could install on it. I head it's better, but I don't know, depends on the phone.

>>57695245
I installed ROMs that told me to use TWRP with my CWM recovery, it worked every time. Not sure if the recovery really matters when installing ROMs

>>57695151
Some king of LG phone with marshmallow 6.0. It looks more or less the same UI wise as a S7 and very similar to google phones. I'm not a teenager or neet and don't enjoy wasting my life getting things usable by customizing my shit. If windows phone actually had apps I'm quite certain Android would die as a platform in less than 3 years.

So still my question is still is an iPhone similar to the windows phone experience but with more apps? I don't want to hear that this shitdroid phone is usable once you brick it with shitmod x and then left on your own demise when whatever maintainer for shitmod x decides to remove support for your phone.

>>57695221
I see no point if the default ones are pure garbage. It just tells that google has $0 spent on UX and I can't expect much quality from the ecosystem.

No the LG was around €500. An iPhone+ goes for around €1300 here. Still I don't really care what it costs because I spend more than €1300 eating out each month. Plus I'm not the one that will buying it because my employer will. I just want the damn thing to work and be pleasant to use.

I work as a software architect and worked previously as a software engineer. My very code and designs has most likely affected your life if you ever have traveled by air plane, used a car from one of the big automaker giants or enlisted with the military (well not the Russian one). I expect the phone to just work and provide a pleasant experience out of the box. Money is of no concern. Is that so hard to understand?

I don't want to spend energy like a basement dweller to rice my phone.

Which carries are US bros using?
I'm currently on sprint's ""unlimited data"" plan and its pretty expensive with two phones being $160 a month and it seems each time a new iphone comes put it raises another $10 a month.

What other carriers are cheaper? Mind you a two phone plan rather than just 1

Hi, I'm in Italy using TIM.
I come from a Nexus 5, and I need a new phone.

I would like to spend around 200 euros but I can go as high as 300. I only need good battery life and software updates support from the either the manufactor of community. A decent camera would be good but I can sacrifice it.

I'm glad to finally hear some feedback on the Xperia X compact, I've got a Z3 compact still and kind of want to upgrade but if the X compact sucks I won't bother. I don't really want a Z5 compact either though because the price is about the same and it's supposed to run hot and have bad battery life. I guess I'll wait for the Xperia XZ compact or something.

>>57697799
Xiaomi Mi5 is a respectable phone and i dont know what your talking about. Just watch or read some reviews.

>>57697835

>>57697799
No. Xiaomi devices are cheap because they don't want to make $500+ profit per device, they recoup costs through higher % of devices sold.
You're much more likely to suffer from bad cheap western devices because they cut corners fucking everywhere and have no market appeal.

>>57697490
Not difficult at all, just copy the ROM zip over and install through the updater app. It's only a pain if you need to downgrade the version.

Is ""fast charging®©™""" a meme? Why won't my phone fast charge on my 2.4 amp car charger. The only way to fast charge is on the charger that came with my S7. I'm guessing there's a chip in the charger that handshakes with the phone? Is this some (((trick))) to get me to buy new chargers?

I wish BlackBerry would stick with QNX for their OS. It seems more flexible than Android or iOS. The fact you can add Android runtime without the Google botnet an probably add Linux runtime. Also the fact that most non native QNX programs run only in a sandbox environment keeps it even more secure. Unfortunately BlackBerry hired a retarded gook for CEO like 4chan did and both went full retard.

Now that ya'll spooked me into not buying the G5 due to the bootloop (I like its camera and the bigger size mostly), it's either an S7 or a P9, and I suppose picking the S7 is a no-brainer in this case.

I know it's $10.00 a month, but the money has to come from somewhere, and I value not having to listen to ads more than $10.00 every month, so I think it's a fair value.

I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but it's been my answer for some time now.

Pick one.

I realized I'll probably hold onto my phone for longer than I'd thought.

Used to upgrade every 1-1 1/2 years and now I've had this 6S since release, so around 14ish months.

It's the only phone I've had since now that doesn't have some kind of huge flaw, everything is at least mediocre - the S3 had a shit build and only 1GB of RAM, M8 had the 4MP camera... (good phone though)

>>57700630
I see. Thank you for your input. At this point I know I'm going to end up replacing it since I have done more technical troubleshooting than my shitty carrier would ever bother with and still have not gotten a fix.

I'm still with my S3, prolonged the fuck out of it through CM but yeah the build is extremely cheap feeling now and getting pretty sluggish. It'll reboot when it feels like it.

Hopefully next phone lasts just as long, I don't see a reason to upgrade yearly like others do, I love me some dramatic increases though so going from my S3 to any 2016 device will probably be quite the thing.

You mean the newest device or the newest best moto? For the latter its the G4 Play; really cheap, 5'' 720p, 2GB ram, SD slot up to 128 GB, 2800 mAh battery, comes with a turbocharger, pure android sans a single moto app, nougat upgrade in a couple months, sturdy, doesn't overheat like the G4 or G4+ because it doesn't have a meme overclocked octacore (at the cost of an inferior snapdragon and processor).

Its honestly the only moto phone worth a shit because for the cost of a moto X, moto Z or a G4/G4+ you can get superior phones for the same price (HTC 10, S7, RN3P) without glaring problems like ghost touches, screen burn in, busted fingerprint scan, glass back etc.

I'm tired of compromising on features and always going "It's great and all except for..."

Currently using a Nexus 5, and the camera and battery life is sort of starting to tire me, seeing other people get 4-6 hours of use while I get slightly over 2 is depressing, and the camera though very usable under good lighting goes completely to shit as soon as the sun starts to set.
Also half irrelevant is the abysmal speaker, but I rarely use it so I can live with a bad one.

Is my only option an S7?
I love the great camera, good battery and nice design.
Only gripe I think is lack of a type C connector.

I was toying around with the idea of a pixel but it costing twice as much as an S7, which is already pretty expensive for me, turns me down.

Generally I'm looking for a good camera, good battery, waterproof is a big bonus, bad performance is unacceptable but most phones even in the $100 range don't suffer from it, and type C is also a big bonus.

Amount of storage, speakers, fingerprint sensor, and front facing camera do not matter at all.

>>57698881
What I find more intriguing is that an iPhone 7 with a 1950mAh battery outperforms the S7 with a 3000mAh battery.

>>57701028
Their processors are great, their specs underwhelming (said A10 makes up for it though) and their screen resolution is a weird sub 1080p, of course it's going to last much longer, if they werent run by jews and didn't cater so much to homos, women, nu-males and normalfags in general we could have one with a 4500 mAH battery, earphone jack, sd slot and type c instead of the laughable devices they shat out recently.

>>57701009
>Only gripe I think is lack of a type C connector.
Is USB-C just a connector for iPhone retards who kept breaking their phones from jamming the connectors the wrong way or is there something I'm not getting? Does it have any advantages other than preventing people from destroying their phones with their rashness?
Not aiming this at you just generally wondering.

Incidentally I am also planning to buy an S7, and was wondering what sort of shield /spg/ uses. I like minimal things, and preferably want the screen to be protected too, like a flip-open case.

Personally I haven't broken any connector on any phone I've used but not having to look at the cable every single fucking time is nice.

It also allows faster charging (sort of a meme though) and faster transfer speeds, since micro usb supports only usb 2.0 .

I also generally like being at the technological meme edge, and support type C as the new standard.

What is the best phone I can get that works on Jewrizon for under 200 Trump dollars?

Right now using a Blu phone (pic related), bought it because it was cheap... and it is. I'm ready for a real phone now.

Any recs for good phones?
>live in USA
>using pay as you go with T-mobile (don't text anyone that often or make calls that often)
I'm looking for:
>higher end gaming capabilities
>good battery life (obvio)
>display similar to what I have now (5")
>$550 price range (can go higher of course but this would be optimal)
>don't really care that much about the camera, it's a nice touch but I don't have a snap or any of that shit

>>57701241
oh and I have some micro sd chips for extra space but as much as i can get on the phone would be great as well

>>57701009
Seems like the HTC 10 is what you're looking for, it has everything you ask, (good battery, good camera, USB type C, fluid) plus a much better stock rom, better community support, root/bootloader without voiding your warranty, better dual front facing speakers and trademark boomsound, dedicated dac for audio, much more sturdy but sadly not at all waterproof but the S7 isn't either, a few splashes is all its going to endure before it shits itself, you'd have to be a massive retard to drop it in the shitter or a pool though, you're not meant to play meme crush on the toilet you know.

Neither the Pixel or i7 are worth the 800 dollars, don't fall for their jewish tactics.

>>57701241
>>57701270
OP3T or HTC 10

what is the best mobile camera i can buy?

>>57701474
a DSLR

>>57701325
>S7 actually costs less due to retarded shipping and taxes

literally memes.

I'm sort of considering buying something without a good camera, but with a good SOC and battery (so basically any chinkphone upwards of $100) and doing as >>57701478 says, since I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling soon, and even though carrying another device with you will suck, just about any modern DSLR will outperform even the S7/pixel.

Is there an app that shows you what signal you would get from different carriers?

>>57701478
i know that. i want to get my girl a phone with a bomb ass camera. i mean top tier for a mobile device. are things like image stabilization software problems? also considering getting her a whatever phone and then a dslr. no idea how much an entry level unit goes for though.

>>57687917
Pros
>Daydream
>Stock Android
>iPhone body
>Good screen
>Quick updates

Cons
>Shit battery
>Fragile
>Expensive

If you absolutely need Daydream, grab just about anything with an 820. Samsung pissed and moaned until Big G greenlighted the 820 for the S7, and everybody else is jumping aboard. If you're not interested in Daydream, grab any Nexus or anything with good CM support like a OnePlus. I have a Nexus 6 and it's running 7.1 like a champ with Assistant.

>>57701658
brilliant.

>>57701592
I mean a good DSLR is going to be worth it in the end. Not only will you get amazing quality images/videos, but you also have immediate access to all of these files for better personal processing later on. No more having to back things up by connecting your phone, just buy a whole bunch of SD cards, and fill them up as you travel around. In addition to all of this, most DSLRs have removable batteries therefore you should never be running into problems there. Oh and of course better control over things as you shoot, rather than trying to jump through all these menus just to change shutter speed.

For MOST people, phone cameras are just fine, they don't take much photos/videos, and when they do they want minimal effort on their part. But if you're going to be spending so much money for amazing images/videos, might as well invest in a DSLR. Or mirrorless camera, or whatever the fuck else is out there these days. I mean that's if you actually care about image/video quality. No reason to care about that shit if all you're going to do is wind up applying an instagram filter on to it.

>>57700818
It's about the best "muh ruggedz" device out there, seeing as the Galaxy S Active lineup stopped being good with the S5 Active, and they also explode. A Droid Turbo/2 can be unlocked for use on almost any network, and is reasonably tough. The LG V20 looks OK, but I can confirm the V10 will shit the bed at the slightest provocation. My wife had one.

>>57701666
She probably wants the iPhone anyways 2bh

>>57701666
Get that DSLR. The Pixel is the best mobile cam going right now, and it simply can't compare for anything beyond casual use.

>>57701736
fuck an iphone

>>57701737
ugh fuck a pixel too. we're doing some travelling in the summer so a dslr would be prime. ballpark how much should i put towards a dslr? that would probably help in selecting a phone.

>>57691802
I'm gonna catch shit for this but my music library is all FLAC so I use a 256gb card and it stays full constantly

>>57701823
$300ish should be enough for a decent used DSLR with a lens or two.

>>57701823
Zenfone 3 has a pretty decent camera and it has optical image stabilization, I'd shill it if it wasn't for the bloatware (but women don't care about inefficiency so go for it m8)

>>57701823
I suggest consulting /p/'s gearfag thread. Tell them your story and they'll give you some recs

Just played something off my v20 and it sounds amazing. It's imperceptible from my e10k. Was regretting about the no stereo speakers but this makes it up.

I have really finicky 9ohm iems as well, so if a source is shit it really shows.

>>57702093
i'm gonna shill for an axon because micro sd and higher res screen.

>>57702215
Zenfone 3 has a microSD slot and anything higher than 1080p on a smartphone is a meme. hell, I'd even go as far as saying anything higher than 720 is a meme, most free porn is 720p or below.

>Micro-sd support, preferably dedicated
>FHD, 5 inch at minimum
>Good battery life
Any idea /spg/? I'm looking for the best bang for the buck

>>57702289
Zenfones are all fucking garbage, kys.

Will the G4 Plus be smooth enough, like Spotify and Clover for regular app usage and some PS1 emulation? My LG G3 is on its last breath.

>>57702319
better than most chinkfones, desu

>>57702289
>hell, I'd even go as far as saying anything higher than 720 is a meme
I can accept that QHD is starting to push into diminishing returns territory on those small screens, but come the fuck on anon

>>57702355
as I said, most porn is 720p or worse. most anime is also 720p or worse. there are literally no reasons to get a phone with better resolution except I WAN TEH EPIN SHINY THING or a lack of availability of 720p phones with decent cameras (but then again, better to save your money for a DSLR)

>>57702414
The difference between 720 and 1080 is very visible when you're up close with the phone, like when lying down (which I do a lot, for better or worse), and qhd is really useful if you're planning on doing vr shit with it.
So everything has its uses, no need to go full on autismo.

>>57702289
oops i read zuk2 instead of zenfone. will check it out. but yeah i don't think i agree. i mean i could live with 720p, but would prefer 1080p. haven't experience anything higher.

>>57702414
honestly it took me forever to justify buying a new phone. i just use my laptop for everything

>>57701241
Zuk z2

>>57702414
>most anime is also 720p or worse

This fucking guy, dont stream on crunchyroll or normieflix, buy or download BD rips off nyaa, most anime starting from 2013 is 1080

new >>57702606

>>57702616
>most anime starting from 2013 is 1080
most anime starting from 2013 is fucking shit

>>57702584
same here desu, I really only need one for watching porn, routefinding and having a calendar/timer.

I've never bought a smartphone before. Is there any brand that supports their phones long term? I need good camera, too.

>>57702774
Microsoft (as of win10) and Apple. Not sure about the future of Microsoft though considering they might be killing their lumia line.

Do they actually not realise how many customers they willl lose to manufacturers who offer actually respectable phones aka Apple. android market is a mess

>>57702828
There's a very high chance the Surface Phone is going to come out so Microsoft isn't dead yet.

>>57702962
Unless they deliver on the "use android and iphone apps on windows phone" it's a dead end. Not even win 10 with UWP helped. The reason was simple. The app makers won't make an UWP app because their target segment don't use desktops to begin with.

iPhone 6S+ vs OP 3T?

>>57703069
The Surface Phone will probably be able to run desktop applications. A Surface Phone has better chance of success than the Surface Pro had.

Why should I not buy Huawei Nova for €180 and is EMUI good enough of a reason?

what's the best music player for android?
rocket player has all the featuers i want so i'm thinking of buying the premium version
power amp lack grouping albums by album artist which so in the trash it goes

>>57703362
poweramp, just tweak it

>inb4 blackplayer or google music

C U C K

>>57703192
>desktop applications
Yes UWP which current phones already do. I seriously doubt they would allow a person to run a x86 desktop application not optimized for touch on their phones. As appealing it may seem I just don't see it happening. At best continium might allow you to run regular windows application in docked mode.

>>57703448
tweak what? it doesn't have that option at all

Just bought a moto g4 plus 64gb/4gb ram for 230$, how badly did I fuck up.

>>57703462
>continium might allow you to run regular windows application in docked mode.
This is what I had in mind. The Surface Pro is popular in businesses so this would be a step up.

>>57703523
USD, AUD or CAD? If it was CAD or AUD you really did well, if USD you got ripped off mate

>>57700656
if you dont know what chink phone stands for just stfu you retarded faggot

>>57703600
>>57703597

It's out of stock sadly on the official website, but even still, with the extra 50$ added for the 64gbs (which honestly i dont care about the storage, I just care about the extra ram) its still 250 trumpbucks.

>>57703529
For that to happen the HP elite x3 needs be a success beyond imagination. As some other anon brought up before. Why dock your phone? Might as well have a desktop station waiting for you. A laptop dock? Why not just bring a laptop etc.

>>57703349
where the fuck do you get this phone for 180 euros

>>57703695
through my carrier bro, i just can't find anything else small and decent under 300€

is there a good inexpensive phone made of plastic? I fucking had it with this aluminum meme that gets dented and dinged just from day-to-day use.

Mi4C is unfortunately not an option because of poor battery life.

Seriously considering the Xiaomi mi5s.

The camera has me pretty much sold since it's the same sensor as the pixel, but at half the price.

Well, now that I think of it on paper it's pretty much the same phone.

Any reason to tell the chinks to miss me with that gay shit?

>>57700968
this

i came from an sgs2 and never found anything worth upgrading until the g4play was released. it has the best design and build quality of the 2016 moto g phones, its cheap, not a big ass phablet and i do not miss any features i want in phone (centered screen because muh asthetics, removable battery, sd card slot, 5" screen, no bloat)

also get will get android N and O

how this phone is not the official phone of /g/ i still cant understand.

>>57703842
I've been telling everyone if you don't mind 5.5'' size that's the best buy choice right now

>>57703690
>For that to happen the HP elite x3 needs be a success beyond imagination.
The x3 doesn't run ancient business applications.
>As some other anon brought up before. Why dock your phone? Might as well have a desktop station waiting for you.
You don't need to sync your files and upgrade all of your devices.
>A laptop dock? Why not just bring a laptop etc.
Same reasons above plus it can charge your phone at the same time. It already exists.

What's the best case for the Galaxy S7 Edge, About to get my brand spankin new galaxy s7 edge coral blue

>>57703817
Few custom ROMs. Xiaomi is better than Google at updating their phones though.

>>57703878
G4 Play is 5 inches. The normal G4 is 5.5 and the G4 Plus is 5.5.

>The x3 doesn't run ancient business applications.
No but HP provides their own entire virtualization backbone to virtualize all x86 applications a business use. The entire point of the phone.
>You don't need to sync your files and upgrade all of your devices.
What? That's a nonissue with onedrive. As for business perspective there should be no need to sync anything.
>Same reasons above plus it can charge your phone at the same time. It already exists.
Why not have an actually powerful laptop instead if you are bringing a brick with you? And yes as you say it already exists and have for quite a while now. It just doesn't gain any traction for good reasons.
